My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

Sean Connery's second to last outing as 007 is pretty good.  It's typical James Bond fun with a diamond encrusted satellite at the center of the story.  A familiar villain is back and the Bond girl in this one is Stephanie Case played by Jill St. John (who is sexy and fun to watch).  It's hard to get too critical about these films because they're never meant to be works of art.  Also Connery is back playing the role that made him famous which is a huge plus.  Grade: B.
